Please get rid of surplus SP

[Boricua]

The surplus is in effect to deter ridiculous exploits such as astral burning. That said with leve-linking in a 4-man party with aspect doing 6 leves each in one sitting, we can each hit surplus. The current state of this system is just so rediculous that I hit surplus on physical 50, in spite of my not even gaining physical exp...

agreed. if all I want to do is level one job... the for crying out loud, let me.

(i actually want to level 0 jobs cuz of how boring this game is)

Surplus would be nice if removed, adding a system that mimics FF11's chain feature would be encouraging for the "non-casual" player base. Allowing the player base to enjoy the game with out limiting their progress.

Even if they lowered the SP gained outside of Leves, then implemented the chain feature to increase the amount of SP gained. this would be slightly more rewarding then say... being held back if you play to much (Grind SP)

Would also encourage group play and faster kills, I for one enjoyed trying hard to get that higher chain number

I would be fine with the removal of surplus if a feature like this was added. Otherwise I would fully expect them to raise the SP/exp requirement for rank/leveling. Even if you level 1 class with surplus we get to cap way too fast. I think people just don't see it that way because the games so boring it seems like it's taking forever.

I wouldn't mind seeing a quest that would allow us to decrease the rate of fatigue or eliminate it all together.

Logged into Camp Horizon for behest, logged out after seeing zero players at the camp site. I guess I won't have to worry about fatigue today.........

I agree /10

I don't think it should be removed until players learn self control so that FFXIV doesn't have to try to nudge them into it.

I've been playing since open beta and until last night I'd never ran into surplus SP. Don't stay in one job and don't play for 8 hours a day and it's not a problem.

At least turn it off for now while they redesign the battle system.

I used to have the same kind of mentality...until I was starting hitting it working on TAN in my early 30's. There is no real reason to have it, and many believe (myself included) it is just a cockblock implemented to keep people from being too much higher than PS3 players. Considering the PS3 release is somewhere down the road, I don't see the need to keep surplus. Hell they can get rid of guardian aspect as well if they want to slow down SP gain a bit, I don't have a problem with that.

Why in the Flaming Bunny Marshmallows is this thread still alive? Surplus will not affect any normal humans in any nominal way. Considering leveling any other class will lower your surplus on other classes and if you say "Hell no" I say "Bugger Off". SE and XIV are catering to a certain crowd, IE Not you. There are other games for your play style available to you.
